- Loonie jumps across the board following the decision.
- USD/CAD approaches April and May lows.
The pair currently trades last at 1.33602.

The USD/CAD plummets toward 1.3300 following the decision of the Bank of Canada (BoC) to raise its key interest rate, which took markets off guard. The Loonie is outperforming on the back of the BoC decision.
The BoC raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.75%, against market consensus. In its statement, the central bank mentioned increasing concerns about Consumer Price Index inflation getting “stuck materially above the 2% target”.
The BoC’s decision follows an unexpected rate hike from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) on Tuesday and comes ahead of next week’s decisions from the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan.
Before the announcement, the USD/CAD was trading around 1.3390, but it quickly dropped to 1.3319, reaching the lowest level since May 8. The bias for the pair is clearly to the downside, moving towards critical medium-term support levels. It is approaching the April and May-June lows at 1.3299 and 1.3314, respectively. The next support area is the January lows around 1.3360.
